are many disorders that can lead an individual to have difficulty swallowing. One example would be when someone suffers a stroke. Swallowing involves organized interactions between several areas of the brain and the peripheral systems and when a stroke occurs many of these systems are disrupted and the ability to swallow is affected. This can occur in up to 65 percent of stroke patients and if not identified and managed correctly then it can lead to poor nutrition and increased disability and a compromised

objectives to be considered in the design of the valve control system. Actuator physical limitations strongly influence the feasible trajectory when low valve seating velocity is required‚ thus affecting valve transition time. Traditionally four stroke engine valves have been operated with cams and rocker arms. The biggest problem with this is they are subjected to wear and tear and other effect like tapped noise and so on. The camless engine will be the solution for this problem. The valve actuation

The three main types of rt-PA includes alteplase‚ reteplase and tenecteplase. (Klabunde‚ 2007).

When stroke patient arrives in the emergency department we have very limited time to treat the patient in order to save his life and return him to normal not altered lifestyle. Time is the most important factor when stroke targets the brain. Within minutes it can forever damage brain parts that control our intellectual or physical ability. We cannot control the stroke from happening
